3rd hcg was 567. The doctor said that's good and I can schedule an ultrasound for next week!! I'm a little confused since my last result was 327 so it didn't double. Granted, I had them drawn 47 hours apart. I wonder if that makes a difference?

Edit: Calculated doubling time is 59 hours so that's within normal limits. Whoop!

I feel good! No appointment this week. I go to MFM on Monday when they'll check the umbilical blood flow, and in the afternoon I have my one-hour glucose test (no diet restriction prior). Fingers crossed for both.

jewel that picture gave me nightmares last night! The baby was kicking extra hard in the middle of the night and in my semi-wakefulness I thought I felt his foot pushing my skin out 2 inches above the belly. I had to gingerly push it back down. Not sure if it's all in my head, but I'm blaming the picture!

30 weeks tomorrow! Holy shit.

It was really true for me that the second tri was the "honeymoon" period. I have started to feel very sore and achey, mostly in my hips, lower back and pelvis, and heartburn is back! My pinched thigh nerve still sucks, despite PT twice a week. But honestly, I really can't complain... I feel really good most of the time.

I've been able to see baby movements on the outside since around 18 weeks so at this point it does legit look like my kid is trying to break out. But I love it

Hey, late update here. 24w6d here. Feeling good other than my freaking CW brought the flu with her to work for 2-3 days before she had symptmoms and was coughing all over her desk (the one next to mine), which she thought were 'allergies'. Um, no honey, you have a fever of 101.8° and Zyrtec isn't touching it. We wiped down her desk with our sanitizing wipes yesterday (as well as the whole office LOL). Today, I'm coughing. I'm hoping it's because I slept under an open window last night... I did get my flu shot (CW was confirmed with H1N1 B at her doc yesterday), so hopefully if I do get something, it'll be really really mild and I won't have to take anything. I'd really hate to take meds - I didn't with DD, and I just don't want to this time, either.

Otherwise I feel good! Baby is moving/kicking, and generally dancing on my bladder all the time. I wish he would flip!!

Glad everyone else is doing well and betas are coming back great and u/s look good! Yay!!
